SteelSeries Arctis Companion

I came from using the Arctis Nova 1x and the xbox wireless headset. The Nova 1x always sounded great on console but I wanted to be able to do adjustments but I don’t have PC access. I decided to try the Nova 3x wireless with this companion app and I am so happy I did. I’m definitely not a tech guy and I was able to read some instructions, download the app and connect to it and use the presets for whatever Xbox game I want to play. The Nova 3x wireless is far superior to the Xbox wireless headset and the Nova 1x because of this app. The sound is amazing and I have had zero issues to date. Thank you for helping a combat veteran with horrible hearing and almost zero tech experience be able to hear, while gaming, with pinpoint accuracy and amazing clarity.

Arctis Nova Elite headset matched with a particular game sounds fantastic! As long as the app is continually updated as games are released, it makes choosing the right game setting as easy as choosing from the list. Keep updating the app, I’ll be very pleased. UPDATE for users - when updating the firmware, the headset and transmitter MUST be directly connected to your machine or laptop. If you use a usb hub, the headset will not be seen by the app and you will waste time trying to figure out why. The transmitter must be plugged into the USB 1 port to your machine, the headset usb-c port is in one of the ear cups behind the magnetic cover. Make sure you also have the latest app download.

I can only speak on the five series because I’ve had two of them, one of them. I broke by accident. The application that works with the cell phone only works for a series 3 now and the series 5 along with the earbuds. They are a game changer. The only thing I would change, however is the ability to change the customizable apps using the EQ on the app on the cell phone without having to sync everything to the computer all the time every time you wanna create, and you cannot play the sounds that you were trying to customize if you are on console, you cannot play them while you are using the app to customize the sounds to begin with so it’s guess work. It would be nice to be able to play the customizable. Sounds meaning all the sounds from the game that you were trying to customize using the EQ, it would be nice to be able to hear them while you are creating a new EQ. Maybe in the future I am hoping when they are done revamping every one of their headphones to use this app. Very strong battery power very strong audio capabilities. Overall a very good buy ,very good. Which is more than I can say for this voice to text on my phone lol so if there are typos, forgive me.
